How to choose fresh and delicious cucumbers
- Fresh cucumbers are bright green, have a uniform color, and do not show any bruises or yellowing, as this may indicate that the cucumbers have been stored for too long and are beginning to spoil.
- Additionally, you should buy cucumbers that are straight or slightly curved. Cucumbers with a solid core are long and evenly sized; on the contrary, if you see short and round cucumbers, they won’t taste as good.
- Moreover, a good cucumber feels heavy in your hand, has a firm texture, has a smooth skin, and those smaller ones will be sweeter than larger ones.
- In particular, you should avoid buying cucumbers that are bulging or unusually large in the middle, as these are older cucumbers, with many seeds, tough, and not tasty.

How to choose fresh carrots
- You should choose carrots that are deep orange in color, look bright, have smooth skin, and do not have unusual tiny bumps on the surface, with the tops still being green and firmly attached to the body.
